Frédéric Guyomard is a senior research engineer and project manager at Electricité De France (EDF-R&D-Lab Paris-Saclay) who has been working for 25 years in the field of computer and telecommunication systems. He has a degree in electronics and telecommunications systems and a master’s in Cybersecurity and Cybercrime (Troyes University of Technology). He has been specialised for 20 years in Digital Security and in assessment of industrial control systems by participating in large-scale projects for secure design and renovation of installations (AMI, nuclear, renewable energy, smart-grids, smart-charging, ICS/SCADA and monitoring systems).
He’s been coordinating the H2020 project “PRAETORIAN”, a consortium of 23 partners in 7 EU countries, dealing with the combined cyber and physical threats to Critical Infrastructures in Europe. This grant-funded project aimed to develop risk reduction and incident management tools on the cascading effects resulting from the realisation of these threats and incidents. He is also leading the EXERA Cybersecurity Technical Committee, member of ECSO and ENCS organisation and participant in the EU-CIP project. I’m author of the Cybersecurity research roadmap for EDF Lab and he is Expert at the European Commission for evaluation of proposals.
Concerns:
He is particularly interested in the security and resilience of industrial and critical facilities, the evaluation of threats on the digital domain and their potential impacts. Because the protection and defence of critical systems are huge issues, he is working in partnerships and international collaborations at the European level. Awareness-raising, education and training activities on these subjects are under his interest.

Sessions

  • Power & Energy Sector Symposium

    Europe’s energy sector, encompassing oil, gas, and renewables, is of paramount importance. Its stability is crucial for the functioning of all other critical infrastructure/entities. The increasing frequency of cyberattacks and the impact of shifting weather patterns underscore the urgent need to protect energy assets, including IT/OT and SCADA systems. A key challenge is minimizing the impact of outages or attacks and strengthening Europe’s energy grids.

  • Cybersecurity as a pilar for Resilience in the Energy sector
